THE PENDULUM Volume 29, Issue 26 Fair TVade coffee soon available on campus Charlie Remy Reporter Do you want impoverished cof fee farmers fiom around the world to receive sustainable, livable compen sation for their coffee? TTiey can, and at no extra cost to you. Starting in the fall, Elon Dining Services will intro duce Starbucks Fair Trade Certified Coffee as an option at Acorn Coffee Shop, Octagon Cafe and Daniel Commons and as part of its catering services.

Throughout the summer and into the fall semester members of Dining Services will work with Elon Students for Peace and Justice, the student activist group coordinating Fair Trade advocacy on campus, to plan and execute the rollout of Fair Trade coffee. Michael Neely, president of Students for Peace and Justice, said, “TTiis is an important step toward Elon practicing more accurately its rhetoric; especially that of its Mission Statement.” The Elon See COFFEE p. 8 May 6, 2004 If it matters to you, it matters to The Pendulum.

At Elon, incidents involving common date-rape drugs are on the rise. Twenty-seven female students reported being possible recipients of a date-rape drug this academic year, according to Crossroads Sexual Assault Response and Resource Center. Twenty-four cases have been reported during the spring semester alone. All were alcohol-related. “We believe something was put in their drinks,” said E)eana Joy, cri sis response coordinator for Crossro^s. “Several girls have been to the hospital in the last month (most likely from a date-rape drug such as GHB or Rohypnol).” Some of the alleged recent vic tims shared similar symptoms, varying ih}m nausea and headaches to disorientation and being unable to recall a tune period from any where between four to six hours, Joy said. An Elon student, believed to be the victim of a date rape drug, asks, students to report cases involving dragging. The student, who wishes to remain anonymous, said she thinks a failure to alert the authorities to these circumstances will result in increased occurances on campus.
